This photo has a lobster feel to it. (if you're not bobster, please accept this as a compliment)
I love this sharp focus, those blues and reds. A simple set but so affective.
Darkness do have a sens of music to it. I find this interpretation beautiful.

nice coloration. jumpy edge to the composition is good. moody. 7

Nice.
I'm a musical photographer myself.
I like the lighting you've brought into the picture.
Maybe just put the singer to the left of the picture (with the neck of the guitar following the row of lights)
Or put him in centre (extreme close up) with only one blue light shining down behind.
Keep up the great work!
(Doesn't it annoy you when amateur hacks walk up and flash the place silly?)

Good composition, but other than a lack of natural light, it does not really convey darkness.

Powerful mood. Most everthing in the shot directs you to his face/expression.

Red spotlights are great candidates for BW photos =) being a musical buff, the blue lights are great, though the red is very distracting and horrible. This would score higher as black and white. 5

Nice shot of the singer, and great capture of the light beams. against the darkness. The emotion on his face is superb! 7

I know how difficult it is to get a photo under these circumstances, and you managed to do an excellent job. I like the singer's face too....peaceful in a way.
